Annual General Meeting 2019

As our community grows, Jewish Federation is becoming increasingly sophisticated — both in planning for our community’s future, and in generating the funds to meet community needs today, tomorrow and for years to come.

Together, we have raised an incredible $14.6 million for our community!

• $7.8 million for programs delivered by partner agencies locally and in Israel
• $4.5 million in contributions to endowments at the Jewish Community Foundation
• $2.3 million in special project funding to meet high priority community needs

Thank you and todah rabah!

Join us at our Annual General Meeting to celebrate our community’s commitment to tzedakah and to honour community volunteers and professionals who are concluding their terms of service. The Annual General Meeting will include the election of the Board of Directors.
